I bought the smaller hand size towel because I didn't want to wash the big towel all the time.

They warn that it will bleed if you don't wash it twice before the first use, but I didn't find that to be true.

You have to wet the towel before you use it. I still find that my hands slide, especially when holding down dog for a long time, but it's better than not using the towel. It's also better than using a hand towel. So, dont' think that it's going to be magic, but it will improve slippage.

This item has been a wonderful purchase for me! During hot yoga sessions, my hands always get slippery, but this towel prevents me from slipping. During down dog, I am now sturdy and not slipping all over the place! I would recommend to spray it with water at the beggining of a class because when it's dry, it doesn't work as well.

the towel doesn't slip on the mat but my hands still slip on on the towel. I was looking for something that would help my hands to not slip on my yoga mat.

I'm a little irritated that the towel I received is not the same as the one pictured. I specifically wanted a waffled towel like those shown, but the one that came has a flat, stiff surface that is more slippery when dry than the waffled dish towel I had experimented with. It is also a lot brighter than the photos, with a single, day glow orange border, rather than the muted 2 toned one pictured. It definitely looks cheeper than I expected.

However, color, texture, and aesthetics aside, it did work relatively well in my hot yoga class. I kept it off my mat for the first part of the class, because even when I patted it down with drinking water it was still slippery. Eventually, though, once I began to warm up, it began to do its job, and I was confident enough with its sticking power to use it under my hands in wheel. Because of that I will keep it until I can find a waffled version of the same thing.

YogiToes are an expensive investment but totally worth it if you can swing the cost.

I do Hot Yoga daily and use YogiToes everyday along with my mat and let me just tell you, these make my workout much simpler because I am not consitently fixing my towel and slipping all over the place from pools of sweat. YogiToes repell sweat really well and make it possible to hold poses for long periods of time without slipping. They wash really easily too, although I do no recomend ever washing these with any sort of laundry "softner" as they will ruin the "grips" on the back of the towels. You can easily get 3-5 years out of these towels with regular use.

My favorite color is the Teal!

I used my friend's yogitoes hand towel today in yoga because even though I clean the surface of my mat it stays slippery. I had been constantly wiping my hands during pressure poses like down dog. I layered the yogitoes towel at the top of my mat (tacky side down) and all of my down dogs were much bettter. I hadn't realized how much better a down dog form I could be getting just because I was able to press harder into my mat; my hands weren't slipping! I purchased the yogitoes hand towel the same day. GREAT BUY!

This towel actually made my mat more slippery. And to make matters worse, the manufacturer won't accept returns.

For $20, the towel part could be a bit thicker. it's good as a base on the mat for the real towel i use while my hands sweat but other than that, you're better off using a regular towel. I am disappointed.

So far this towel has worked really well and it did exactly what I needed it to do. Now I can much more comfortably hold a downward dog position without struggling to keep my sweaty hands in place. I followed some peoples' advice to not dry it in the dryer. So I washed it on gentle in warm water, and hung it to dry. =)

I usually use a normal hand sized towel on my mat during hot yoga but it bunches and isn't the most reliable. This towel, however, does the exact opposite. It stays in place the entire time (even as I sweat buckets on it!) so I don't have to worry about my hands slipping from my sweaty mat. A great buy!
